My (ongoing) battle with a vicious bacteria.

I get UTIs chronically (lucky me), and let me tell ya, I knooowww when I have them! But man, that must have been hell!

But I know how you feel waiting for a diagnosis. I had to rely on my "STOMACH FLU" diagnosis from the horrible hospital, until I got diagnosed 1 month later.

I've never really had one, and the only symptoms I had were gradual loss of appetite (I just never felt hungry) and occasional stomach pains, which I passed off as gas or PMS. Plus I didn't have healthcare at the time, so I tried to wait it out as long as I could to see if I got any better.

Still, it sucks that they didn't catch it the first time. The doctor was probably super inexperienced and only looking for common/obvious aliments. :rolleyes:

Read every word. Hoping that you get better soon. Good luck :)
